CDO, how close minded and pathetic are you? Firstly, how can you say that Vader accomplishes nothing? Like adeptus said, he killed all the Jedi, ALL OF THE JEDI except for a hand full who were lucky. He nearly single handedly started the Empires take over (by assaulting the Jedi temple) and ended it (by killing the Emperor). And your wondering why we like Boba Fett. We like him because, yes he is mysterious, his armor is cool and unique, his story is interesting, his skills are legendary (contrary to his portrayal in the movies, that was Lucas making his first mistakes). Btw, the "official novels" as you saw ARE in fact part of the expanded universe, and many of these "official novels" feature Boba Fett and really dwell into his character and how cool he is. Lastly, how can you complain about people on the site who are still in high school and are acting immature? You, apparently, are an "adult", and out of high school. And yet where are you? Doing something productive, making money, making your life or someone else's better? No. Your here. On our humble site of Boba Fett fans who just like to talk about Star Wars and other stuff. And what are you doing here? Disrupting our lives. You are the definition of a loser who got out of school and has done nothing productive. Dont intrude on our lives just because yours sucks. Just take you and your stupid friends and do something that doesn't involve bothering people who have done nothing to you.

On a personal note...Why do I personally like Boba Fett? Because he helps me escape and forget that this world is filled with people like you.

I was not going to add anything to this thread given the back and forth direction of the comments but I feel the need to direct my comments directly to CDO.Before I begin, I am sure CDO will have to take a return "jab" at me and thatÃ¢Â€Â™s ok, no matter how rude it might be from a stranger.CDO, I believe the body of your question and replies are extremely rude of you.To join a specific fan site just to ask why the members enjoy/love the character then to put a spin on the back ground of that character to imply that the fans and members are wasting their time in enjoyment with this character is worthless and extremely rude.We all have different items of enjoyment that help in the distractions of life around us. I am sure we could find and put a negative spin on something you, CDO enjoy. If you have not noticed CDO this current time in history is pretty messed up. It is healthy if not a necessity to have a distraction in ones life to keep grounded to the important things. We all need something to help stimulate our brains. Some folks use distractions that are unhealthy and unsafe while others pick a safe distraction.Speaking only for me the Star Wars Universe is my distraction. To share a little bit about myself, after spending 10 to 12 hours a day helping folks who have just experienced a tragedy in their life and then the other 10 to 12 hours spent making sure that my house hold is protected from all the negative influences out there, I need a couple of hours in the day to escape and relive a storyline that was influential in my youth. If Ã¢Â€ÂœlovingÃ¢Â€Â this character that in your opinion (from what I have read) is a waste of time again is rude.So you donÃ¢Â€Â™t like the Boba Fett character and feel he is over rated, which is ok it is your opinion to have. But I donÃ¢Â€Â™t see the logic or need in to belittle OUR enjoyment of the Boba Fett character here on this fan site.I apologize if I have misunderstood your intention of this thread but from what I have read I only can it for its face value.So to add my input on Ã¢Â€Âœwhy I love Boba Fett so muchÃ¢Â€Â for you to criticize here you go and I hope it helps in your enjoyment of putting a negative spin on my feelings and opinion.I personally donÃ¢Â€Â™t Ã¢Â€ÂœloveÃ¢Â€Â Boba Fett. I enjoy the character and what he represents to me, which is a rouge character. He does and goes where he wants. Yes, he does answer to Darth Vader and Jabba the hut in the movies. But if you had noticed in the story line, Boba Fett works for these characters. The mystery of the Ã¢Â€Âœman be hide the maskÃ¢Â€Â is part of it also. But that was kind of spoiled in ATOC. But then again there is the time between his youth and adulthood to ponder.Compared to the other battle armor used by the other characters his is unique to it self.I feel Lucas shows moments of weakness, a jetpack that is set off by a single blow, shows that the mystery man by no means is prefect. And his screaming before being eaten shows he does have a weakness as a human and he is flawed.As for the Ã¢Â€ÂœlameÃ¢Â€Â characters in the Star Wars universe, well the story does take place in a galaxy not of ours. The star wars storylines do not take place in our future but in a world of its own. So there needs to be lame character to balance the unimaginable characters to give it a sense of believability.If you will take the time to see the movies beyond the computer effects and understand the body of story of the movies you will see a struggle each of us have in our lives.A person searches to find their past and why they are drawn into the direction their life takes them. To believe in something that has been abolished because itÃ¢Â€Â™s Ã¢Â€Âœhocus pocusÃ¢Â€Â. To be consumed to have the knowledge to protect everyone you love. To realize that maybe you are selfish in your needs and that it is ok to show weakness to help those you care about. To never ever give up a dream of a better life for all.Well I guess thatÃ¢Â€Â™s all I got for you CDO.I am sure I have set myself up for heck of a reply to my thoughts. But that is ok, if have made you feel better about yourself by knocking down what I have shared then I guess I did my good deed for the day.May the Force be with youÃ¢Â€Â¦always

Re: Please explain Boba Fett love to me...

A little late to the discussion.

Why do I like Boba Fett? Well besides the obvious coolness factor, he's a Survivor. And since your standard is set by the movies I shall take why I like Boba from the movies. CDO, you mentioned that on Geonosis he saw his dad die and just waltzed over and took his stuff. Think about that for a minute. There was a full fledged battle on Geonosis--Boba was roughly a ten year old kid who'd just lost his dad. He was completely and utterly alone in the universe. Yet he survived. And he became the galaxy's toughest hunter. (I can totally see a twelve year old Boba decked out in Mando armor threatening to blow some dude's head off ). You also mentioned that in "Empire" Boba was calling Vader to do his dirty work. But Boba's actions showed a large amount of self-control and professionalism. If you recall, Han was merely the bait. Remember Leia in the hall shouting to Luke "It's a trap!"? Boba would have been utterly stupid (Fett fans don't flame me here ) to not call Vader; to get between Vader and what he wanted would have been suicidal, or at least close to it. Vader wanted Skywalker; Han was the bait. Boba knew this, and being a seasoned hunter and all around smart guy he did what Vader wanted him to do.

And as for the sarlacc, if you're not going by the books, mind you...... Don't you know that the dude in Mando armor was Jodo Kast?

That was an awesome show. I was very disappointed when they canceled that series. The people you're referring to, though, weren't clones in Space: Above and Beyond. They were created by in vitro fertilization, inside gestation tanks. That's way they called them Invitro's, and the racist slur directed towards them was the term "tanks." They were also called "nipple necks" because their umbilical cord was attached to the back of their necks, so they had their belly buttons on the back of their necks. But they still needed a sperm and egg donor to be created. Kind of like mass producing test tube babies for war and not "birthing" them until they're fully grown. As I recall, they created them to fight the A.I.'s, so the natural borns wouldn't have to go into space and die. Real nice. Still, it was a great show.

Re: Please explain Boba Fett love to me...

It would be pretty bad if they messed up the cloning process in some way. But yeah, if they perfected it, drinking the milk oc a cloned cow would be just like drinking the original cow's milk...Like Adeptus just said...The cloned cow could then be the first cow to say that it could be in two places at once, too! Acually, that would also make it the first cow to say anything at all...

Re: Please explain Boba Fett love to me...

It would take a lot of skill to be able to survive very long in that job. And Boba's armour is definitely one of the best models out there. His weaponry is also pretty cool; he's got everything packed ito those gauntlets of his.
